At Heroic levels you can spend one point per encounter. At Paragon levels you can spend two points per encounter At Epic levels you can spend three points per encounter. You gain action point(s) when you reach a milestone: Heroic 1, Paragon 2, Epic 3. After an extended rest, you lose any unspent action points, but start fresh with 1 action point at Heroic levels, 2 action points at Paragon levels, 3 action points at Epic levels.

While that sounds cool and all, I have the odd feeling that being able to take so many extra actions in later battles might unbalance the difficulty of those battles.

Seconded. The effects and powers used in the actions themselves scale. Scaling up the number of actions is a kind of "scaling squared", and not required as far as I can see. What is the reasoning behind the change?

My party is strickly human with a warlord. They are only four (I hate DMPCs) and want to speed up combat without reducing challenge levels. Having more Aps acts as a «fifth» player.
